So far I am really enjoying this and your description of how the tracks were inspired makes sense as I listen. There are a number of the songs/artists that I am already familiar with but hearing them in this context somehow makes it new. Thank you

Thanks man, I tried to mix tracks that I knew you'd listened/liked before (via scouring your posts) and interweave them with things I thought you might not have heard. I'm glad I succeeded.

I'd heard almost none of the music on the CD you gave me, bar Sufjan, Radiohead and The White Stripes. I was initially apprehensive about whether I'd like it but the longer I listened the more I did. I really enjoyed the opener 'Serpentine', was that one of your friends?

I think the reason I liked the CD is because it had good music from scenes I haven't had the time and/or interest to explore yet. It's time consuming to really get going in an entirely different scene of music so I'm really pleased that you shared some great music with me. Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it. I too looked through your music preferences and made the decision to feature songs I thought you'd like from genre's that were absent in your collection.

-I know Chris, I wouldn't say we are friends though. We shared a couple of shows in the past and my cousin plays violin with him. He's a great artist.

I definitely tried to feature artists from Michigan, some of which are friends. Hope it wasn't too poppy for you.
